We didn't have a no shoes rule in my house growing up, because it was just assumed that shoes weren't worn in the house (atlantic canada).

I love this, actually, but for purely nostalgic reasons. An elderly couple I used to know had little miniatures hidden around their home and property, it added a sense of "whimsy" without being ove...
I knew someone who worked at a major retailer here in Halifax and they had a similar policy. I don't know if they destroyed it, but furniture and etc. would get thrown out all the time.
This shoes vs. no shoes thing is completely foreign to me. I had no idea it was such a point of contention in some places.

I could definitely do it for a month or two, but the canadian winters would likely win in the end...
